This poem is about being diagnosed with...

Tough bark
On rough skin...

There is such a thing as forgiveness
Something I myself give and do...

I saw you today,
I saw that you saw me...

Threads of Hope
They asked her what was wrong...

I grabbed my keys, filled up my tank
And drove to the ends of the Earth today...

I am unlovable
Tainted...

Echos from the past
fallow me through the halls...

The news hits me,
Like ocean waves crashing into the shore...

Truth is,
I joke around for your attention...

To which do I prefer,
To forever be ignored...

Sometimes I think words mean everything,
Other times nothing...
